Oh dear. Another disaster. What the hell is wrong with this line and the
trains that run on it? I hope TfL is getting compensation from the
manufacturers for these endless cockups.

I infer Boltar is referring to the incident reported in

Tube passengers led down Jubilee Line after train fault

Hundreds of Tube passengers have been led down a tunnel on the Jubilee
Line after a train broke down near St John's Wood, in north-west London.

The train stopped at about 17:35 GMT causing severe rush-hour delays on
the line.

On Twitter, one passenger commented: "700 people being evacuated down
track. Epic Jubilee Line fail."

Transport for London has apologised and said: "We will be refunding
those affected."

Nigel Holness, London Underground Operations Director, said: "I
apologise to customers whose journeys have been disrupted by this
evening's problems on the Jubilee line.

"This was caused by a faulty train between Baker Street and St Johns
Wood which has led to the suspension of the line between London Bridge
and Finchley Road.

"This is clearly not the level of service they have a right to expect."
